In the nineteenth month children meaningfully say at least five or six words, and say as many more in a way their mothers can understand. Adults who do not see a child every day or strangers may not understand the pronunciation of many children this age, but their mothers do.
The child can follow two-word instructions such as “bring the ball,” “open the door” and “throw this.” They can request something from us using two words, such as “give water” or “give toy.”
In the nineteenth month abstract concepts also gradually begin to develop in the child's mind. When we tell short, simple stories, the child watches with interest. They may answer “Is your mother at home?” correctly and sometimes answer “Where is Dad?” with “Dad is at work.” These are developmental stages of a healthy nineteen-month-old baby.
